lyrics

When I was young I did not think
I would become cold, tired, and mean
But I have lost whole parts of me
I did not think would ever leave

When I had lungs I tried to breathe
I was sure someone needed me
But I have lost those hard-earned fears
Left you alone so I could bleed

And I lied when I said that you could hold me
I tried letting go of what you’d done
But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree
And I’ll bend to the wind but not the

Son of a rich man takin’ his time
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine

When I was young I did not think
I would become cold, tired, and mean
But I have lost whole parts of me
I did not think would ever leave

And I cried, I walked, you turned me up
And I tried, but you stopped
If that’s it, huh, it ain’t enough

And I lied when I said that you could hold me
I tried letting go of what you’d done
But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree
And I’ll bend to the wind but not the

Son of a rich man takin’ his time
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
Son of a bitch with a rock in his eye
You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
